Phil Proger practices antitrust law with emphasis on matters before U.S. and international enforcement agencies, including mergers and cartel investigations, as well as antitrust litigation.

Phil has served as a member of the Board of Governors of the American Bar Association (2003-2006), Chair of the ABA Section of Antitrust Law (1998-1999), and Co-Chair of the ABA's 2008 Transition Report to the new Administration on antitrust enforcement.
